LISTEN: Did You Get The “Hidden Message” In This Negan Scene?!

“People are a resource,” said Negan with a swing of Lucille. While speaking with Simon, Gavin, Eugene, Dwight, and Gregory, he made it clear that they were going to stick with Negan’s plan.

Now, he wants to kill Rick, Maggie, and King Ezekiel. Unless he’s got something else planned, it’s possible that he wants to stick them on his walker fence. This way, everyone can see what happens when you double-cross Negan.

So far, Eugene seems to be the prime suspect. Because Eugene is the type of person to always protect himself, he’s looking for the real rat. In “The Big Scary U,” Eugene visits Dwight’s room to see if there are any clues to point to someone else.

While no one knows what will happen next on The Walking Dead. Rick has lost the big guns, but the Saviors are still surrounded by walkers.
